[Webpoori News] Cat Cora Iron Chef Biography, New Cat Cora Que At the Bay

[Raj]

Chef Cat Cora, the first and only female Iron Chef, hosted a demo and signing of her latest book, Cat Cora’s Classics with a Twist: Fresh Takes on Favorite Dishes, at Macy’s Lakeside.

Cat Cora has signed on to open a branch of Cat Cora’s Que (aka CCQ) in the upcoming Terminal 2 project in SFO.

CCQ is Cora’s fast casual barbecue chain concept that seems to be a likely candidate to  be replicated across the country (there’s already one in Southern California).

Cat made her TV debut in 1999, as co-host of Food Network's Melting Pot with Rocco Di Spirito. She went on to host My Country My Kitchen: Greece, Date Plate and Fine Living's Simplify Your Life. A documentary, Cat's In The Kitchen, was also made about her first James Beard dinner in April, 2002. 

Prior to Iron Chef America, Cat was co-host of Food Network show, Kitchen Accomplished where she worked with a design expert and contractor to surprise a homeowner with a 3-day kitchen makeover. In 2006, Cat appeared alongside Wolfgang Puck in NBC's primetime miniseries, Celebrity Cooking Showdown, where celebrities were paired with famous chefs and competed in a timed cook-off à la Iron Chef.....check her website
